Today's Thursday. I have the urge to put down the a standard part of a conversation I have every Thursday.

E: Guess what?
L: What?
E: It's THURSDAY!
L: Which means
E: tomorrow is Friday!
L: Which means
E: NARUTOOOO
L: Which means *smiles broadly*
E: *sigh* 6 more days to next Friday...

Today, cleared Physics SPA. It was kind of what I expected, so I nearly caught myself smiling when I looked at the description of the experiment. One of the rare SPAs that feel closer to a spa (the one that people go to every few weeks).

Oh and Vivienne was at it again. She started making me panic around 2 hours before the SPA. Actually, we take turns to panic. She panics around 2 hours before, while I start panicking 20 minutes before. However, by the time I start panicking, she's already cool as some cucumber.

The rest of my day went downwards after the health check up. My back is negative, so I was spared from having to take off my shirt. My eye test didn't do badly enough to be referred to an optometrist. My blood pressure test was the one that didn't turn out good. After taking the first reading, the nurse asked me if I just went for a run. I shook my head. After taking the second reading, she asked me if I was feeling excited about anything. Well, no, unless it's something like SPA? After taking the third reading, she told me that my blood pressure was above the normal pressure. I was quite shocked because I thought HBP was only for older people, not people like me. The nurse asked her colleague to test my blood pressure again. I went over and had a total of 6 tests. I saw the mercury level in the meter and it went up to around to around 130-140 (I didn't manage to see it just now). The healthy range is below 120. The nurse advised me to eat healthily and exercise, basically, live a healthy lifestyle.

Ever since hearing that shocking news, I haven't felt like a normal human. How could I possibly have HBP. I'm still young, I still have many things I want to do. As of what I know, I exercise, though not too frequently, eat healthily, and my parents don't have HBP, and I'm not overweight or anything (if I still remember my Home Econs work).

6 tests are enough to prove that my blood pressure is high. I even saw it for myself. Sigh.. That means I have more chances of getting a heart attack or stroke, at a younger age. Now mom has an excuse to ask me to sleep earlier, drink more water, go jogging with her and dad on saturday mornings. I think I'm going to have to make some changes to my lifestyle if I want to survive a little longer. I'll probably have to go do a proper body check up soon.

HBP doesn't occur overnight. But uncovering the hard truth today made me feel different from 1pm and backwards. I hope there's a chance I'll return to normalcy. I'd rather have low blood pressure. At least I don't have to die of a heart attack. It's still hard to believe I'm getting this problem at my age.
